Region. We can be a partner to anybody who wants us to partner with them in the fight against sectarianism and others. We are there, and we will still be there. Iran will always be our neighbor. Bear that in mind in any evaluation you have. The region itself is going through tremendous social, political upheaval. The arab spring has been hijacked. No clear mandate to the governments in the region governing pre as in comparison to prearab spring. So please bear that in mind. So in that sense, i would say that in iraq you have a reliable partner, but at the same time, help us to help you in the fight against international terrorism. Somebody asked us the other day, a question a senior official said to me he said lukman lets say we get rid of isis will you be a partner with us against isis elsewhere or are you content with just iraq . My response is no. We know we will have a responsibility that we will take seriously, but we have an urgency now which we want you to help us with, and let

Speaker, when i was a boy my father used to point out to me that there were certain moments, certain events that not only define perhaps a community or a generation but leave an indelible mark on a person. He referenced me to go speak to my grandparents about where they were when the news came that pearl harbor had been bombed and i can remember my grandfather lucas describing the exact field, the exact row that he was picking cotton in in december of 1941 when one of the neighbors stopped and said have you heard .
